🧘♂️ Retreats 🧘♂️
A silent mindfulness retreat for the LGBTQIA+ community. This is an opportunity to come together in community, embracing all of ourselves as we cultivate the wholesome and loving qualities of our hearts and minds. There will be alternating sitting and walking meditation, instruction, dharma talks, and practice discussion with the teachers for full participants. Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners who self-identify as LGBTQIA+ or genderqueer.

Richmond, VA 23225 United States
During this hybrid non-residential weekend retreat we aim to cultivate relaxation, awareness, and insight. We will explore how open, relaxed awareness can naturally reveal the patterns and conditionings that shape our experience. By approaching our practice with relaxed interest, we create space for experience to unfold simply and naturally, allowing wisdom to emerge in its own time.

Ward, CO 80481 United States
As winter thaws and the high peaks awaken with new life, this springtime retreat invites you to explore mindfulness in the living presence of the Rocky Mountains. Informed by the teachings of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya, with whom the teachers have studied, our practice emphasizes a relaxed, natural awareness.
